Ad container box top padding

Jim

Hello,
I really like the grey ad container boxes you implemented lately but there is one small problem.
You have made the ad that's inside the grey container to collide with the top of the screen but I have a sticky menu or use affiliate sticky offers and the ads go under them.

Whenever I use a sticky menu or sticky affiliate offers I make sure they always have the same height which is 60px.
So how can I make the ads inside the grey container box have a top 60px padding to collide with my sticky elements and not with the top of the screen?

HOW I WANT IT TO BE: https://www.veed.io/view/a4afc512-1743-466a-b4b7-03fdc8648f3a?panel=share

That should be pretty easy to adjust right?

Jim Is this simply a header overlay that sits above the rest of the site? If it were part of the actual page, it normally would keep the ads pushed down, however, I believe this may be happening since the header is on a layer above the rest of the site.

Jim

JeanPierre I ll look into it and update you as soon as possible.

Jim

JeanPierre You are right. If I enable the sticky menu header from the theme's Customizer options then the ads collide with the header propperly.

However, I have disabled the sticky header from the theme Customizer and added it through CSS cause I had some issues with it. The theme I have is GeneratePress btw.

Sticky header is off in theme customizer: https://ibb.co/9tZ2RhC

And I added it with CSS instead...

/* STICKY MENU EVERYWHERE FIXED (OFF IN CUSTOMIZER) */
body:not(.logged-in) nav#site-navigation:not(.logged-in) {
    position: sticky !important;
    position: -webkit-sticky !important;
	  top: 0;
} 
@media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
  .admin-bar nav#site-navigation {
    top: 0px;
  }
}

Now about the sticky affiliate header, it's an element added through GP ELEMENTS.
Check this screenshot: https://ibb.co/mzBTXC2

Even if I ebabled the sticky menu header from the theme customizer I would still have a problem with the sticky affiliate header added through the GP ELEMENTS.

So, do you have any ideas how we can make this work?

Jim Hi Jim, just to let you know I'm looking into this for you with our team, I'll update you as soon as I can, thanks for your patience!

Jim

Monica Okay thanks!

Jim

Monica I talked with GeneratePress support too about this and they told me the following:

The issue is with the top value of the ad. You’ll need to change the top value of the ad equal to the height of your Sticky Header.

However, the top value is defined by your ad inline and it’s also set to !important and can’t be overridden. Can you reach out to Ezoic to ask if there’s a way to alter the top value of the ads?

Jim Hi Jim, we're still looking into this one and will get back to you when we have heard from the team - thanks for your patience in the meantime

Jim

Ethan Thanks for letting me know Ethan!

Monica

Jim Hi Jim, just wanted to keep you updated. We don't have an exact timeframe from the team as to when we'll be able to change this from !important, and it may be a while. In the meantime would you like us to turn off the sticky incontent ads for you? We introduced the change to improve site's potential revenue over time, so it is of course up to you. Let us know your thoughts,
Monica

Jim

Monica No, no. I like the sticky incontent ads a lot. I dont want you to turn them off.
So there isn't any other solution to this except removing the !important?

1) The best solution would be if there was a choice on the EZOIC ADS section so we could just put a top-padding of our choice so those incontent ads would collide correctly for people with sticky menus or sticky elements that don't work by default. That seems fairly easy I would think...

2) Also, will I have a problem if my sticky menu/element hides those ads a little bit? Is that a policy violation or something? Is it safe?

JeanPierre

Jim Since the ads are not covered during their display other than for the brief period of scrolling, there should be no policy violations. As for a different resolution, we don't currently have one other than disabling the sticky ad style for now. Since this is a new addition to the ad service system, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out.

Jim

JeanPierre I see 😕 Okay let me know if you have any updates in the near future.

Jim

JeanPierre This issue is fixed now. I guess you guys fixed it later on. Very happy about it.
Looks so much better. Good job!
